Full List: Man city, Chelsea, Real Madrid… All past and current Club World Cup winners
Manchester City are the 2023 Club World Cup champions, beating Fluminense in the final to secure their first club World Cup title and their fifth trophy in 2023.
The FIFA Club World Championship was the competition’s original name from 1999–20; the current title was adopted in 2006.
Seven teams compete for the title in the current format of the tournament, which takes place over roughly two weeks at venues in the host country. The national champions of the host country and the current champions of the AFC Champions League (Asia), CAF Champions League (Africa), CONCACAF Champions League (North America), Copa Libertadores (South America), OFC Champions League (Oceania), and UEFA Champions League (Europe) compete in a straight knockout tournament.
The national champions of the host country compete in a play-off against the Oceania champions, with the winner moving on to the quarterfinals to face Asian, African, and North American champions.
In the final four, the winners of those ties will play the champions of South America and Europe for a spot in the final.
The FIFA Club World Cup winners list is comparable to a who’s who of the world’s largest football teams.
To date, only four English sides have won the tournament; Manchester United (2008), Liverpool (2019), Chelsea (2021) and most recently Manchester City (2023)
